Metro’s largest union and members of the D.C. Council are outraged that Metro and D.C. police provided Unite the Right 2 participants with what they describe as a private Metro car to get to Sunday’s rally.

Internal reviews find significant problems with some of Metro’s contracting procedures including buses that arrive without proper documentation and a lack of guidance on or key provisions in contracts for major capital work.

Leaders of Metro’s largest union have met with Metro officials in the first meeting since workers overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike, but little appears to have been resolved. The two sides plan to meet again Wednesday.

Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 held the strike authorization vote following two instances in the past two weeks where a significant number of workers reported to work late in protest of Metro management.
